Importing a product module Product modules are the building blocks for creating packages. Symantec Packager extracts the product installation binary files and the product template from the product module. The product template details the feature requirements and conflicts, making it possible to create custom installations of the product. During installation, Symantec Packager automatically checks the Packager/Products folder for product module files and imports them automatically. Symantec pcAnywhere provides a product module file (Symantec pcAnywhere .PMI) on the installation CD. If you install Symantec Packager from the pcAnywhere installation CD, Symantec Packager automatically imports this product module file. If no products appear on the Import Products tab when you open Symantec Packager, you must import the product module manually. To import a product module 1 Open Symantec Packager. 2 In the Symantec Packager window, on the Import Products tab, on the File menu, click Import New Product.
